Hi has anyone managed to get hold of a Euro Tag for use on the French toll roads ? I've tried Sanef and they only supply for class 1 & 2 vehicles up to 3.5ton mines a class 3 over 6 ton, Euro Toll are a waste of time don't reply to e-mails & cannot get through by phone, if anyone has managed to get hold of a Toll tag I would be grateful if you would share the information, we are travelling at the end of June. Cheers Bill.

Had one for 5 years many moons ago. Now starting again.
I use Sanef for my car but I also got one for my son but used Vinci.
Here is the English version of their website: http://en.sites.vinci-autoroutes.com/
Have a look there and if necessary send them an email asking the question. They have been very efficient since I got their transponder.

Correct me if wrong.. as you cannot use the 'drive through ' T lanes when class 2.. what is the advantage if you still have to queue up and stop with the other HGVs? .. it's no quicker than using a debit card .. and there is no saving ..

or have I misread this

http://en.sites.vinci-autoroutes.com/en/article/faq-0
Class 2 :
vehicles or driving units with a total height equal to or over 2 metres and under 3 metres and with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) equal to or under 3.5 metric tons. You can have a The VINCI Autoroutes motorway tag with most motor homes and cars with caravans. Warning: do not use special T lanes for class 1 vehicles as vehicles using this lane may not be higher than 2 m. Use classic or large goods vehicle/truck lanes and show your VINCI Autoroutes motorway tag pass to the cashier.

We used the drive through lanes this winter without any problems although our tag is Sanef!

That's just warning you not to use the height restricted class1 t lane with a motorhome or higher, you should drive through the t lane that suits your height.

It's only the ones with height barriers you can't use, usually only one or two on a peage. All the ones with no barriers are fine.

You can even use the ones without a T sign. We've been through a manned one with ours, when we got to the kiosk I pointed at it and she just waved us on. It beeped and the barrier opened.

We have been using without any hassle even towing a trailer never had to stop or speak to an operator and billed straight out of your bank account our van is 4250kg (I know there have been debates over this previously and it's something you have to decide whether you wish to use we can also use it for the car) I know there is a risk of it being taken away but so far so good.

Try easytrip.fr - used to be alis - I use my toll tag for both car and MH and it is fine even in the high speed non-stop lane. Seems to be quite a bit cheaper than sanef (not the tolls sadly)

remember that there are quite a few unmanned booths.

doesn't matter who supplied the tag.. they use the same T Lane.

and according to the information, the drive through T lanes are for class 1 under 2mt height ..

Warning: do not use special T lanes for class 1 vehicles as vehicles using this lane may not be higher than 2 m. Use classic or large goods vehicle/truck lanes and show your VINCI Autoroutes motorway tag pass to the cashier.

:confused:

no matter.. I'll just pay with debit card ..

please read the whole paragraph again.. it is poorly written and can be misread..

it is clearly saying class 2 should not use lanes intended for class 1 as they may not be higher than 2 m

Class 2 : vehicles or driving units with a total height equal to or over 2 metres and under 3 metres and with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) equal to or under 3.5 metric tons. You can have a The VINCI Autoroutes motorway tag with most motor homes and cars with caravans.

Use classic or large goods vehicle/truck lanes and show your VINCI Autoroutes motorway tag pass to the cashier.

Jim I think it's saying if you are class one do not use T lanes as you are not tall enough to activate the sensors as Motorhomes are higher 2m to 3m they automatically activate by the infra red beam detector.

well.. it's not how I read it.. but no matter.. there is no financial benefit buying a Tag .. in fact it costs more.. which seems strange.. an account with the Dartford crossing saves money every time you cross.

so for that reason.. I'm Oot.. :LOL:

maybe it's a machine translation..

That would be my guess. The actual situation is definitely not the way you read it.

You're right in that it does cost ever so slightly more (a maximum of €12 per year) but to me it's worth all of that to be able to drive past any queues and straight through a dedicated lane.

It's especially satisfying when there are lots of UK registered vehicles with the occupants glowering at you as you go past :D:D:D

Best thing we ever bought is our Sanef tag, tho we are class 2 not 3. The only lanes we can't use are the ones that have the height barrier, other than that we head for the one with least traffic. Worked so far.

I think we are straying away from the original question here as the OP asked about a tag for over 3 metres and over 6 tonne, I don't think he is going to get away with a tag dedicated to class2 vehicles and to the best of my knowledge they don't exist for Class3 motorhomes.

You can get away with the sanef tag as long as you are under 3m high and there is an over 3500 tag but not Sanef

I thought the OP said over 3 metres but reading back he didn't so possibly he would get away with the class2 tag.

Is the over 3500kg option available for motorhomes or just commercials.

We have recently obtained a tag from ITS - International Transport Services. Contact Alan Thurley, very helpful.
A.turley@its-group.co.uk.

Our tag is enabled for France, Spain and Portugal. We are 4.5t above 3mand towing. Definitely class 4. We have kept the sanef tag that we used when towing for the toad should we need it.

4.7. Large Motorhomes / Commercial Vehicles.
The Liber-t tag is only for class 1, 2 & 5 vehicles. Sanef Tolling does not offer the TIS-PL tag for class 3 and 4 vehicles, but our sister company Eurotoll do offer the TIS-PL tag for Class 3 and 4 vehicles.

Nothing is a lot of use when they are queuing 17kms back from the actual tolls, which I had when using car in 2013.:(
One we saw, fortunately on the other side extended to some 42kms , so nephew said.:cry: I had the same in 2011 when going to Germany. I don't mind paying for a toll road but I expect to be moving .The 2 lane sections needed uprating to 4 lanes 20 years ago especially in summer on the Route de soliel. Tags the least of your problems,better off with cash so you can vent your frustrations at someone.

Hi thanks for all the useful info, as a result we have managed to get a toll tag thorough Toll Tickets.com, let's hope it gets here on time and works.
Thanks again Bill & Shirl.
